The Bowery Bar & Grill - Bar in Franklin - 3023 W Ryan Rd, USA

Ok, I'll be honest. I was expecting this to be something of a "dive bar." Instead, it's casual, a bit darker and more rustic. Nice place to watch a game, shoot pool, or chill on at a back table with friends. I ordered the Pub Burger. A half-pound, tasty patty, with good flavor. Comes with lettuce, tomato, red onion and fries. Guinness on tap, along with others. Yup, not a dive. Friendly bartender, guests & a comfortable place. Update 12/6/23: Had a return visit. Once again, the Pub Burger was too good to pass up. This time my wife and I both had the tater Tots instead of fries. Tots rule! The burger was big, juicy, seasoned right and worth the $10.50 cost with Tots included. Check it out for some great local food.

First time here even though this place has been in around for a long time. Had their perch fish fry and my husband had their cod Oscar, both of which were very good! Nice to know there's a place close by that has a good fish fry. I'm very picky when it comes to Milwaukee fish frys, but this is one place I will be going back to!

First time in, on a weekday around 2pm. Watching the Brewers, with sound of game on. The pizza was great! Home made thin crust!! Check their website for daily specials. The bartenders were social and never saw an empty glass that wasn't attended to. Great job!

I was staying at the Staybridge suites and wanted some beer and wings during the NCAA games. I walked in sat down waited 15-20 min. The bartender a tall slender gentleman looked at me twice in the eye but never came over. The gentleman on the photo below couldn’t have been concerned with any customers because his side work was very important. I left after not being acknowledged at the 30 min. mark. I feel like if you are not local; they do not want your business. However; when I got back to the hotel; three men staying there said how was your food at the Bowery? I was surprised they knew I was there, then they said they noticed me sitting by the door . I told them about not being acknowledged and leaving with out ordering after 30 min. Then having to go through the drive through of cousins subs as the alternative. So maybe they just don’t like acknowledging women. In any case; I have a lot of business to do up here in the next few months; I’m looking forward to visiting another establishment. The total irony was I had 100 bill in my wallet I was planning to leave for a tip because it just seemed like the place that would appreciate it. Wow was I wrong.

Small venue, all tall rise tables, dim at best lighting. Service was ok, but seemed understaffed. Pizza was ok, did not appear or taste “homemade “. Wings were over breaded and appeared and tasted like frozen wings.

Great little sports bar with a decent selection of food and libations. I walked up from the truckstop to get a burger and watch some baseball on a weekday around lunchtime. Even though it was very busy, and I’m not a local, the bartender (didn’t catch her name) greeted me right away. Service was spot on and the burger was tasty as well. Did I mention tater tot’s? Two Thumbs up regardless of the previous recent review from a dissatisfied patron. Definitely recommend.

Delectable food for the price, I haven't had the pleasure to dine but all the times I've ordered takeout the food has always been great!

Saturday BBQ rib dinner special, so tasty & tender! Meat fell off the bone with a fork. All the sides were cooked to perfection. Large outdoor seating area with a big screen TV and plenty of shaded seating. Good time.
